Happy Monday 👋 Markets throw a hundred numbers at us every week, and most of them are noise. So here is this week's question: what is the one data point you are actually watching, and why does it matter to you? Inflation, a results date, crude, the rupee, a rate decision, a jobs print, your own SIP balance — anything counts.

• Name one number — just one, the one you would check first
• Add a line on why it matters to you personally, not why it matters in general
• Not sure which number to pick? Say what you are confused by — someone here will help

And please reply to someone else's number too, not just mine — that is how the good discussions start.
